Excelsior MLS Listings Minnesota Located on Excelsior and Gideon Bays in Lake Minnetonka, Excelsior centers its life on the lake. Smaller Galpin Lake also lies partly within Excelsior. A tiny city with a long history, residents celebrate that history actively. During the summer months, a classic old streetcar offers rides, and excursions on the restored steamboat Minnehaha are also available. A fine marina in Excelsior bay offers charter boat excursions and features waterfront dining. Unique shops and restaurants attract visitors to this lovely lake community.
The city has several parks, with the favorite of all being the Commons and Port of Excelsior, with beaches, sports fields, a band shell, and playgrounds. A community center offers a variety of activities for residents in several communities, including Excelsior. The local Historical Society maintains a small museum featuring the rich history of this community. The city has its own elementary school, but middle and high school students attend classes in neighboring cities, in schools with top-notch ratings. Commuting from Excelsior starts with a leisurely drive on Highway 7, which intersects with the I-494 loop.
Excelsior is a very small city, so home buyers must select from a small number of MLS listings at any given time. Just a handful of listings under $250,000 include small cottages and homes that may require work to meet your standards. Buyers may tear down these older homes to build a custom home near the lake. Several condominiums and townhouses on the water are available between $300,000 and $500,000. Lakeshore and lakeview homes occasionally appear on the market, so check listings often.
